Summary

This summary is currently incomplete.

Atticus is glad to see that Yusuke Fujiwara is alive, as he has assumed he had died during his experiments. When asked why he did what he did, Yusuke replies that in the World of Darkness, there are no winners, no losers, no loneliness, no suffering - only a sense of unity. He says that all minds become one and all feelings are shared. He states that a person's dreams, the reality a person truly wishes for is what they will experience in the World of Darkness. Fujiwara appears to be fully under the control of Nightshroud (in the Japanese version, Nightshroud's name was "Darkness").

Atticus declares all of Fujiwara's musings to be "nonsense" and states that he is simply ignorant of unlimited potential of humankind. In order to help Atticus see more clearly, Fujiwara allows him to again witness what his friends are experiencing in the World of Darkness. Chazz is once again Dueling in the Pro League and has not yet won a Duel. Should he lose the one he's currently in, he'll be forced to retire. He suddenly finds himself on the street, and is challenged to an Ante Duel by a gang of Rare Hunters. He again has "Reload" in his hand, and is about to draw "Ojama Yellow". Fed up with the situation, Chazz instead draws the second card from the top of his Deck and Summons it - "Masked Dragon". However, he immediately finds himself back in his last Pro League match, and is immediately disqualified for his actions. He is then engulfed in waves of darkness, finally accepting his fate.

Syrus is still attempting to build a "Cyber Style Pro League" with his brother, but cannot carry the weight. He informs his brother, who crumbles to dust as Syrus is engulfed in waves of darkness, he too, accepting his fate. Alexis is failing as a teacher, and after encountering clones of herself who deride her efforts, accepts her fate and is engulfed in the black waves. In doing so, the three are essentially erased from existence as they are assimilated in the World of Darkness itself. Fujiwara attacks with "Clear Vice Dragon", but Atticus activates his face-down "Burst Breath", destroying both monsters. Using "Nihilistic Summoning Technique", Fujiwara Special Summons his removed "Clear Rage Golem" (though with zero attack points) and equips it with "Attribute Mastery" and "Attribute Bomb", declaring the DARK-attribute for both effects. The former will destroy any monster that battles with "Clear Rage Golem" without damage calculation, while the latter will inflict 1000 damage to the opponent when a monster is destroyed with "Clear Rage Golem".

Atticus manages to Summon "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" again, and reduces Fujiwara's Life Points to 200 with "Inferno Fire Blast". Atticus apologizes for being unable to save Fujiwara when he disappeared. Fujiwara attacks with "Clear Rage Golem" and "Attribute Bomb's" effect would win him the Duel, but Atticus activates his face-down "Red-Eyes Burn", which inflicting the attack points of "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" to both players, thus appearing to end the Duel in a draw. However, this is all revealed to have taken place in Atticus's mind, as Fujiwara looked into to it to determine what Atticus' darkness of heart was, so that he could exploit it. Determining that it was the fact that he couldn't save Fujiwara, the Duel continues from when "Clear Vice Dragon" attacks. This time, Fujiwara discards "Attribute Mastery" with "Clear Vice Dragon's" effect, rendering "Burst Breath" ineffective and winning him the Duel. Atticus is absorbed into the World of Darkness and Fujiwara calmly suggests that the final confrontation between him, Jaden, and Jesse begin.

The Duel would end in a draw at this point, but it's then revealed that Yusuke was trying to find out what Atticus' darkness was and that everything after the summoning of "Clear Vice Dragon" was in Atticus' mind.
